[Verse 1]
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Dm Dm C C Dm Dm
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
Dm Dm C C F F C C
You’re scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Dm Dm C C F F
Achilles, it’s not much but there’s proof
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Dm Dm C C F F
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Dm Dm C C F F G G
Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Dm Dm C C Dm Dm
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?


[French language sample]
Dm Dm C C F F


[Verse 2]
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Dm Dm C C F F
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
Dm Dm C C F F C C
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Dm Dm C C Dm Dm
Remember the pact of our youth
Dm Dm C C F F G G
Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping
Dm Dm C C Dm Dm
Since there is no me without you
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Dm Dm C C F F
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Dm F F D D Gm Gm
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
D D C C Dm Dm
But love the sweet air of the votives
Dm Dm F F D D Gm Gm
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
D D C C Dm Dm
Cngage with the pain as a motive


[Chorus]
Gm Gm F F C C
Today of all days, see
Am Am F F C C F F
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Am Am F F C C F F
How you will heal and you’ll rise above


[French language sample]
Dm Dm C C F F Gm Gm


[Verse 3]
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now
Dm Dm C C F F
You are absent of cause or excuse
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
So self-indulgent and self-referential
Dm Dm C C Dm Dm
No audience could ever want you
Dm Dm C C F F C C
You crave the applause yet hate the attention
Dm Dm C C F F
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
Dm Dm F F F F Dm Dm
It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
Dm Dm C C Dm Dm
It's a pointless resistance for you


[French language sample]
Dm Dm C C F F Gm Gm


[Verse 4]
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
Dm Dm C C F F
Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
It’s chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
Dm Dm C C F F
Of feeding and it’s wholly untrue
Dm Dm C C F F Gm Gm
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
Dm Dm C C F F
It’s all just conjecture and gloom
Dm Dm C C F F Gm Gm
And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Dm Dm C C F F
Do not waste yourself on this roof


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Dm F F D D Gm Gm
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
D D C C Dm Dm
Chiming away for a moment
Dm Dm F F D D Gm Gm
Feel your breath course frankly below
D D C C Dm Dm
Fnd see life as a worthy opponent


[Chorus]
Gm Gm F F C C
Today of all days, see
Am Am F F C C F F
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Am Am F F C C F F
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Am Am F F C C F F
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Dm Dm C C F F
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome


[French language sample]
Dm Dm C C F F Gm Gm


[Verse 5]
F F Dm Dm
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
Dm Dm Gm Gm
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)

More poignant than fame or the taste of another
Dm Dm F F
(Don’t listen, Achilles)

But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
Dm Dm F F
(You’re worth more, Achilles)

You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
Dm Dm C C F F
(So much more than a rat)

You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
Dm Dm C C C C
(No one asked your opinion)

You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
Dm Dm Gm Gm
(No one asked for your thoughts)
C C C C Gm Gm
Be done with this now and jump off the roof

(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
Dm Dm F F Am Am C C
Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you


[Bridge]
Gm Gm F F
I’m talking to you
F F C C
I’m talking to you
F F C C
I’m talking to you
Dm Dm C C
Achilles, come down
F F C C Gm Gm
Achilles, come down


[French language sample]
Dm Dm C C F F Gm Gm F F


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Dm C C C C Dm Dm
Throw yourself into the unknown
Dm Dm C C F F
With pace and a fury defiant
Dm Dm C C F F Dm Dm
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
Dm Dm C C F F
Fnd see life as a means to a triumph


[Chorus]
Gm Gm F F C C
Today of all days, see
Am Am F F C C F F
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Am Am F F C C F F
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Am Am F F C C F F
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Dm Dm C C F F
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome
